green beans (took seeds from last year's pods - not sure about this...)

rosemary

parsley (organic seeds)

basil (organic seeds)

Raspberries are getting their blooms.

It might be too late for some of this stuff. Especially the snap peas & cauliflower. Fingers crossed! Let me know if you have any purple cauliflower tips - I could use them. I think they can get wormy? I have no idea.

I used lots of hay and mulch in the garden this year, hopefully it will help with our annual major weed issue.

Here's my pretending-to-be-a farmer-but-sooo-not self-portrait. My friend Kenny commented the image of me with a pitchfork would be an interesting one to ponder...so Kenny - this one's for you. My Key West, FL straw hat has been repurposed.

About

Welcome to "Striving Green", the blog that focuses on one family's attempt to become more environmentally friendly by the standbys - eating organically, keeping it local, reusing, reducing, and recycling. I call this blog "Striving Green", with an emphasis on the "striving". We're not perfect; we're learning as we go along.

I'll tell about the "green" successes and challenges we have with day-to-day issues as well as new discoveries I stumble upon. I'll pose questions to readers, looking for your thoughts and suggestions on how to improve upon reducing our consumption of resources. Sharing information and "making ripples" is something I enjoy. I hope you enjoy reading and become inspired to "strive green" too.
